Fat-Dissolving Injections (Lipolysis)

Injection lipolysis uses a series of small injections to break down localised pockets of fat in areas that resist diet and exercise — such as a double chin, jawline or small bulges on the body. The solution disrupts fat-cell membranes so the contents are gradually cleared by the body. It is best suited to stubborn, well-defined fat deposits rather than general weight loss, and works best as a short course.

Injection lipolysis, sometimes called the fat-dissolving or fat-away injection, targets small, stubborn deposits of fat with a series of micro-injections of a fat-disrupting solution. The active ingredient destabilises the membranes of fat cells in the treated area; the released contents are then gradually processed and cleared by the body over the weeks that follow. Because it works locally, it is intended for contouring specific areas — a double chin, the jawline, or modest bulges on the abdomen, flanks or thighs — rather than for general weight reduction. At Ästhetische Medizin Stettin a session takes around twenty to thirty minutes. It is normal to have swelling, warmth, redness and tenderness in the treated area for several days after each session, as this reflects the intended breakdown process. Results are gradual and build over a course, so the clinic offers a discounted package of three treatments spaced a few weeks apart; the number needed depends on the size of the area and your goal. Injection lipolysis suits adults at or near a stable weight who have isolated pockets of fat they would like to reduce, and is not a treatment for obesity. Suitability, the likely number of sessions and any contraindications are reviewed beforehand, and the clinic provides anaesthetic for treatment at no extra cost.
